Nanotech Based Display

Posted by samzenpus on from the awesome-resolution dept.

yodha writes "Ntera showed their NanoChromics Display (NCD) recently. The display uses a nanotechnology process to create a more paper-like image than traditional LCD screen. It delivers significant power savings (they've shoehorned one into an iPod to give people a sense of what it looks like). The image can even remain on the screen for weeks without any power and doesn't need a backlight."

    The issue described sounded like a pretty simple prototype bug instead of a technology issue. Specifically, they said that they had to depress the contrast button constantly to keep the display on. So, whatever that was doing could be replaced with a simple switch and it would be good to go.

    NTERA put one of its NCD screens inside an iPod.
    It looks bright and vibrant from virtually any angle (except from the back).

    Thank you mister obvious!

    But yeah, you're right, it does have superior contrast by the look of it. I imagine it'll be used for eletronic papers and the like.
